I talked to the shop again late yesterday, the crank was perfect so thats GREAT news. I asked them about the oil analysis I have done with Blackstone. Seems to be that on the S54 rod bearings once you see the problem in the oil analysis the bearing is already gone. The coating on the bearing just don't show up on their test. I keep saying "The Shop" but unless someone really wants to know where I took the car there isn't a point in it unless you live around Dallas. They have a really great bunch of guys and a very solid race team. anywho, they said the engine should now be perfect.

Man, that sucks about your car engine. I hope it is bulletproof when you get it back!
